Excessive engine oil blow-by in aircraft powered by reciprocating engines has been a recognized problem for some time. This problem has become even more significant with the use of turbocharging to increase engine power output. The increase in brake mean effective pressure causes increased leakage past the piston rings, thus carrying additional oil out of the engine breather outlet. Furthermore, the more powerful engine permits aircraft to climb at a higher noseup angle of attack, causing engine oil to collect more toward the aft of the engine case. This causes more oil to collect near the engine oil breather outlet, which is commonly located at the rear of the engine, and in the past has increased the amount of oil escaping out the breather.
